Rachel S booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Northumberland • August 2025
“Having The Upstarts as our wedding band was a major highlight of our day. Their communication leading up to the day was fantastic and their commitment to the performance was demonstrated on the night; they had even learned a song we had requested especially for the evening. We were blown away by not only what a skilled group of musicians they are, but the lead vocals were incredible - meaning we were confident choosing a range of song styles as they performed fantastic covers with their own bespoke style, which we loved! The look and energy of the band was brilliant. They had the dance floor bouncing, got involved with the guests - Chris even came out into the crowd with his guitar! Absolute class act. They were also generally lovely people and were so friendly to everyone. We would 100% recommend these lads to anyone looking for a funky, trendy vibe for their evening wedding party.”
Excellent Band. Great Entertainers
Guy M booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Northumberland • August 2025
“The Upstarts were one of a number of "great investments" for our wedding day celebrations. Their professional approach throughout the evening accompanied by their friendly and enthusiastic rapport with us and our guests made then an invaluable part of what made our wedding celebrations so special. As a set of musicians they perform with great enthusiasm, a playlist with something for everyone in it and an ensemble tightness you only get from experienced, well rehearsed musicians. All our guests loved them and many made inquiries as to how we discovered them. Cannot recommend these guys too highly. An absolute joy as professionals, musicians and entertainers. The dance floor was full all night and nobody wanted them to stop.”
Everybody said they were the best wedding band they’d seen
Benjamin J booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Durham • July 2025
“If you like the setlist don’t even bother to keep looking, these guys are the one. Professional, amazing setlist, incredible sound, and genuinely great with the crowd, multiple people said they were the best wedding band they’d seen. The additional saxophonist was incredible too, thoroughly recommend”
Amy P booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in London • July 2025
“The Upstarts performed at our wedding with an acoustic duo at arrival (well worth considering) and an awesome two set performance. They learned pencil pull of lead (Paolo Nutini) for our first dance and nailed it. The band was courteous, punctual and all round great performers throughout.”
Lauren G booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Cumbria • May 2025
“We can’t recommend the Upstarts enough! They were brilliant and had the dance floor filled for the entire set! Thank you so much, you made our day and we’re so grateful!”
The Upstarts - Everything we wanted and more
David B booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Durham • May 2025
“The Upstarts were (and I can't stress this enough) AMAZING at our wedding day!!! They were great in the build up: We had a call with them a couple of months beforehand and went through our plan for the day, the style of music we like, some songs we wanted from their set list, and we were confident they were going to do a good job. But wow, they were way better than we had ever imagined, and our guests were blown away, everyone wanted to know where we had got them. Two sets perfectly pitched to the mood in the room, first a few oldies and rock and roll etc, and the second set was mainly some indie/punk rock that had the room jumping. Chris the lead singer was phenomenal, and the guitarist is amazingly talented, with some solos that had the whole room going crazy. They were really fun too, with plenty of engagement with the crowd. They made me and my bride feel like rockstars as well! Also huge credit to them because we were running late and they had to deal with the buffet overlapping with their first set, but they handled it like absolute pros. I genuinely cannot recommend them enough, they were one of the best things about our wedding day. Thanks so much lads!”
Jade K booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Merseyside • April 2025
“We honestly can’t thank The Upstarts enough for the incredible atmosphere they created at our wedding! From the first song to the last, the dancefloor was absolutely bouncing - it was never empty! The sound was amazing, the setlist was perfect, and their energy was infectious. So many of our guests said how brilliant the band was -they really made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a band that will get the party going and keep it going, look no further. The Upstarts were an absolute highlight of our day!”
Amazing band, taking our office party to the next level! Hig...
Claire G booked The Upstarts for their event in Greater Manchester • December 2024
“What can I say, the Upstarts were amazing! From the moment of booking we had fantastic communication with Jak who was incredibly helpful in the early stages ensuring he took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for from our party entertainment. All of the guys were really lovely guys, and we had so much positive feedback about the band after the event, they really are a talented group! Would 100% recommend them and would book them again in an instant!”

“The Upstarts were fantastic!The communication before the event was brilliant.When they arrived they set up quickly without any problems.The songs they played were fantastic.They learnt our first dance song as an extra and we loved it.Thank you”
Jack B booked The Upstarts for their Wedding in Gwynedd • September 2024
“Great communications from Jak. Thank you so much guys. Just what we wanted. Overall just a brilliant band, had the whole place up and dancing from the first song to the last. Chris is an amazing front man. We really liked how they felt unique and very fresh, yet stilled played the songs everyone wants and expects at a wedding. We added keys, sax and a female vocalist to the line up which were also really good additions and made the night that bit more special. Thank you once again. We've both said if we get married again we know what band we want ?? ”
